Ruby
Hugo Winterhalter & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Et puis elle se fait les mains
Ruby va-t-elle quitter la ville
Lui reste dans son coin
Les ombres sur les murs leur disent
Que le soleil rougit
Ruby, garde ton see?you're ici
Partir à la guerre
Il en revient, alors tends-lui les bras
Comme naguère
S'il a changé, n'a-t-il
Plus rien de l'homme de ta vie
Ruby, garde ton see?you're ici
Je sais, see'est dur d'aimer un homme
En qui tout est brisé
Mais sois patiente et tu verras
Que tout peut s'arranger
Tout comme toi j'ai attendu
Et puis je suis partie
Ruby, garde ton see?you're ici
Ruby s'en va, il voit le ciel
Qui change de couleur
Tout comme il a déjà changé
Maintes fois dans son see?you're
Et see'est prouvé, moi je sais bien
Qu'il peut prendre la vie
Ruby, garde ton see?you're ici
Ruby, garde ton see?you're ici
The French lyrics of Hugo Winterhalter & His Orchestra's song "Ruby" tell the story of a woman named Ruby who changes her appearance by putting on makeup, dyeing her hair, and getting her nails done. It is hinted that she might be leaving town, while the person the singer is addressing is staying in their corner. The shadows on the walls suggest that the sun is reddening, indicating that Ruby's leaving might have a profound effect on everyone around her. The singer urges Ruby to stay and not leave, regardless of her reasons for wanting to leave. The singer further tells Ruby to wait for her man, who had gone to war and returned home. The man might have changed, but he is still the love of her life.
The lyrics continue by acknowledging the difficulty of loving someone who is broken but also telling Ruby that being patient and waiting for her man can lead to a better outcome. The singer has also experienced waiting and leaving, as indicated in the lyrics. The song emphasizes the importance of being committed in a relationship despite the challenges and difficulties one might encounter.
